The resume. Arterial hypertension
morbidity remains high in Russia; it is characterized by significant
regional specific features in disease prevalence on a background of
insufficient efficiency of preventive measures .

The research was aimed at studying regional features of prevalence of
arterial hypertension, the importance of disease determining factors,
and total risk of cardiovascular mortality in Chuvashi population; the
research will help to determine the priorities of preventive measures.

The work was performed in the frameworks of EPOCH multipurpose
epidemiological research. A random representative sample comprising the
unorganized population in the Republic of the ages of 15 and elder with
the total number of 3090 persons has been examined. The total 10-year
cardiovascular mortality risk has been calculated on the basis of SCORE
ideology based on the results of Russian prospective epidemiological
researches.

Prevalence of arterial hypertension in Chuvashia is 30.7 % that is
much higher than the official statistic data; it is significantly
related with a low level of education, unemployment, living in urban
conditions. The high levels of arterial hypertension, which correspond
to arterial hypertension of 2-3 degrees of the burden of disease, have
been diagnosed in 53.4 % of population; the arterial hypertension was
burdened by ischemic heart disease in 28.5 % of patients . The total
10-years risk of death caused by cardiovascular diseases in Chuvashia
was 10.2 % for male population and 3.5 % for female population. The risk
profile in Chuvashia assessed using a complex of forecasting factors
and 10-year risk of death is higher in urban population, Russian
population , persons with a low educational level. To increase the
efficiency of disease prevention measures in arterial hypertension, it
is necessary to use technologies of high total risk and to take into
consideration the most vulnerable groups of population at planning
preventive interventions.
